Who we work with
University of Life Sciences in Lublin
Dr hab. eng. Aldona Sobota and her team, in collaboration with Dominik Polak – President of Polmak Pasta Factory, created a product containing carbohydrates with a low glycemic index and load, reminiscent in taste, color, and consistency of wheat pastas.
The recipes and first samples were developed thanks to cooperation with the University of Life Sciences in Lublin, Faculty of Food Science and Biotechnology.
It was the university staff that found unusual ingredients, thanks to which our pasta has such low parameters of glycemic index and load.
Our project
As part of the project, based on the results of research on the chemical composition and physical properties of various plant raw materials, preliminary model pasta recipes were developed. Subsequently, after conducting tests, the optimal recipe variants were selected, and the assumptions for the production technology were developed.
The final stage of the work involved determining the in vivo glycemic index of the pastas and testing selected recipes in pilot tests on an industrial scale.
Our efforts:
45
Tested recipes
30
Months of work

Raw materials
The result of these efforts is a product with a very low glycemic index,
which tastes and looks like ordinary, yellow pasta.
